AMS 5596 - INCONEL 718 Sheet, Strip, Foil & Plate
AMS 5596 includes INCONEL 718 (UNS N07718) in sheet, strip, foil, and plate. It is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy with iron, niobium, molybdenum, aluminum, and titanium. It has the ability to withstand extremely high working temperatures, combined with superior corrosion properties.
This material, under specification AMS 5596, signifies excellent weldability, resistance to cracking after welding, as well as an ability to maintain creep rupture strength at temperatures as high as 1300°F (704°C). The process consists of consumable electrode or vacuum induction melting, followed by a heat treatment at 1775°F (968°C).
Applications of INCONEL 718 per AMS 5596
- Jet engine and gas turbine components
- Rocket motors and spacecraft hardware
- High-temperature bolts and fasteners
- Nuclear reactor parts and pressure vessels
- Pumps, heat exchangers, and tooling systems
How is AMS 5596 different from AMS 5597?
AMS 5596 typically covers the solution-annealed condition, while AMS 5597 includes precipitation-hardened treatments.
